“It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Ericka sent regular pics and updates. When we got home our dog was happy and content. When we’ve had to use something more like daycare in the past, he just gets really stressed and barely eats. We will be using rover again in the future for sure.”
“CK was great with my dog and cat, and very communicative! He was even able to come back and check on the animals later than planned when we were delayed coming home. Would definitely book again!”
“Ilana was great! She went above and beyond to make sure the dogs were taken care of, walked twice a day (early morning and later evenings due to the heat), and sent so many updates! We had her stay at our house while we were out of town and the house was tidy upon us coming home, with no issues. Ilana was very respectful and kind! Thank you!”
“We really loved Ann! She was efficient, organized, and friendly. She had a natural rapport with our dogs, which made us feel very comfortable. She was also very easy to communicate with. We highly recommend Ann!”
“We loved having Mariah dog sit for us! She took the time to come by and meet Bruno before the scheduled date which is always so helpful. She sent lots of updates and pictures and even helped clean up the guest room after her stay. I could tell Bruno was so comfortable with her and he enjoyed having her around. I hope to work with Mariah again soon!”
“Heather took great care of my 2 fur babies. I was able to enjoy my first family vacation in years because she made me so comfortable with the care she gave them. She sent pictures everyday and kept me updated in all of their activities. She will be my Rover go to for future trips.”
About: Because I’m in medical school I have a unique perspective on pet care in the sense that I am calm, thorough, and empathetic! I also have a dog of my own with medical needs so I am equipped to care for any pet. I’ve had large dogs, small, dogs, cats, and fish all my life and I would love to help care for your pets too:) I’m currently in medical school so my schedule varies during the weekdays (which I will frequently update) but I can come swing by to take on walks, check-ins, or house-sit. I have most weekends free as well. I am experienced in caring for food aggressive pets, dog-aggressive pets, as well as medically needy pets. I can take large dogs 100+ lbs on leashed walks as well as play in yards with them. I love animals and I know how to keep everyone safe and happy:)
“Josh watched our dogs for the first time this week. We have a puppy and a senior dog and he was great with both of them! Super communicative, sent pictures, and we felt very comfortable having him stay in our home and keep our fur babies safe! We will be using him again for sure!”
“Jessica is the best! She kept us updated with pictures/video the entire time. Took extra steps to make sure my little ones were happy and active, Which made our trip so much more enjoyable and less stressful knowing they were in good hands.”
“Alyssa did a fantastic job watching our dog Thor when we went out of town for an extra long weekend. She showed up on time, excited and prepared for the visit. Sent pictures and updates a few times everyday, which gave us peace of mind. We will be using her again in the future.”
“Kayla did an amazing job watching Finn! She sent frequent updates and pictures to let me know that Finn was doing great. I will definitely ask her to dogsit again in the future!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with someone who wasn’t family and we were very anxious about it, however, Keilah was amazing. She came over to our house and met Millie before we left to ensure a smooth transition. Additionally, she sent updates, pictures, and videos of our pup to reassure us everything was going great. I’m sure Millie will miss her! Cannot recommend enough, we will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you, Keilah!”
“Alex helped us out last minute as we needed to leave town for a family emergency. He was thorough, sweet with our pets, and sent several photos each day. Will definitely ask Alex to sit for us again in the future!”
“Kristin was wonderful. She took excellent care of Baxter. They took lots of walks. She went above and beyond. Everything was neat and clean when I got home. She's new to Rover and was perfect. I will definitely use her again.”
“Kristina and Fletcher stayed with our dog for two weeks while we were in Europe. Just before we left, our dog developed both a fear of walking at night due and some gastrointestinal issues. We were extremely worried about leaving her but they gave her lots of love and patience about walking and rolled with her new diet restrictions. They also sent us lots of updates because they knew we were worried. We came back to a happy and healthy dog and are grateful to have had two conscientious dog pros with our girl when we couldn’t be.”
About: I train for races & am always looking for a running or walking buddy! I love dogs and cats as I have a pup & 4 cats myself!! My Dalmatian comes with some specific directions for food/behavior so I am confident I can care for your dog down to the most specific details! I work a school schedule and will be off for a little bit over the summer! I can check in on pets staring at 4:00pm during the week & can tend to them on the weekends. I am more comfortable taking care of your pet in your home and I have a slightly particular Dalmatian. However, If a pup needed to stay in my home, they have to be crate trained.
“Ananda is wonderful. She was able to help us out in short order and handled our senior Husky so we'll. Consistent updates and left our house looking exactly as she found it. 100% will use again and would recommend to anyone else!”

Aidan was an INCREDIBLE sitter for my cat and dog! He was always super communicative and friendly during his stay. Aidan sent regular pictures and updates while I was gone which allowed me to really enjoy my time away on vacation. He followed my instructions to the letter and left my house spotless when I can back. I can’t recommend Aidan enough and will definitely be using his services in the future!
Therese was great with our dogs during the meet & greet and was very conscientious which made us feel comfortable that our dogs would be well taken care of. We got regular updates and photos while we were away and returned to 2 happy, healthy dogs. Would definitely recommend!
Alyssa met up with me and my anxious pup prior to my trip, and I really appreciated that she was happy to do that front-end labor of setting us at ease. Alyssa sent photos and videos to let me know how my dog was doing and even noted when she (the dog) wasn’t eating much, so I could respond with a suggestion. I’ll book this very calm and conscientious caretaker again.
Alex is quite possibly the most attentive cat sitter we've ever had (and we've had a ton). The kitties love him and just behave normally when he's around. He sends tons of updates and pics throughout the day (which we always request but sitters rarely ever actually do this!). We have older cats that have quite the eating schedule and Alex is always totally on it. He's got a perfect cat demeanor: quiet and slow moving and deliberate. It makes us all feel so comfortable! He's our top call for a sitter and has been for quite a while. We'll keep using Alex for our cat-sitting needs as much as we can!
Mariah is awesome! We have used her a few times now and our dog really enjoys her company. Mariah is a respectful house guest and will keep in touch with you as much (or as little) as you want! I feel very comfortable leaving our dog with her for short and extended periods of time!
Once again Virginia was a terrific sitter taking care of our dogs Willow and Roxy while we traveled over a long weekend. We have had her as our dog/house sitter for 7 years now. Our dogs love her and she does a super job caring for them and taking care of our house. We highly recommend her!
Kristina and Fletcher stayed with our dog for two weeks while we were in Europe. Just before we left, our dog developed both a fear of walking at night due and some gastrointestinal issues. We were extremely worried about leaving her but they gave her lots of love and patience about walking and rolled with her new diet restrictions. They also sent us lots of updates because they knew we were worried. We came back to a happy and healthy dog and are grateful to have had two conscientious dog pros with our girl when we couldn’t be.
Alyssa was so wonderful to our dog! She stayed at our house and took care of our plants and had such high standards for the way she showed up for our pup. Our dog was waiting by the door the day I came home, yearning to be back in touch with Alyssa. Please choose her as your Dog person.
